Right guys, half way through changing the ball joints on the rangie and have been reading Rave on aligning the hub to prevent the oil seal failing. The diagrams aren't very clear and don't show a great deal of the tool used.
My original plan was to refit the axle with a new seal and measure the gap around the plate with feeler gauges to centralise it then try and measure to the edges of the swivel hub. but short of popping the cv joint off and measuring to the centre of the shaft I'm stuck for an idea from there...
Has anyone else done this? Anyone have any tips or tricks to aligning these? Or even better pics of the tool or something they're knocked up so I can make something up as well.
